Abstract
Compressible flow is considered in the hodograph plane. The fact that the equation for the stream function is linear there is exploited to derive a representation formula for the stream function, involving boundary data only, and a fundamental solution to the equation. For subsonic flow, an efficient algorithm for computation of the fundamental solution is also developed.
